A Study to Evaluate the Effect of MK-5684 in Male Participants With Severe Renal Impairment (RI) and With End-stage Renal Disease (ESRD) (MK-5684-010)

An Open-Label, Single-Dose Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of MK-5684 in Male Participants With Severe Renal Impairment and With End-stage Renal Disease

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Oct 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of the study is to learn what happens to levels of MK-5684 in people with severe renal impairment and end-stage renal disease versus a healthy person's body over time. Researchers will compare what happens to MK-5684 after hemodialysis in people with severe renal impairment and end-stage renal disease versus healthy people.

  • Has required frequent emergent HD (≥ 3) within a year prior to the first dosing
  • Has had a functioning renal transplant within the past 2 years

Other illness

  • Has a history or presence of any of the following: Adrenal insufficiency; Hepatic impairment; Clinically significant hypotension; cardiac arrhythmia; cardiac conduction abnormalities or recurrent unexplained syncopal events; Second- or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) heart block (except in participants with a functional artificial pacemaker); Clinically significant sick sinus syndrome; Any systemic fungal infection; Hypothyroidism; Chronic infection
  • Has a first-degree relative with multiple unexplained syncopal events, unexplained cardiac arrest, or sudden cardiac death, or has a known family history of an inherited arrhythmia syndrome (including Brugada syndrome)
  • Has a history of cancer (malignancy)
  • Is positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C virus (HCV)
    • Participants with Severe RI (Group 1):

Other

  • All Participants:
  • Has a history or presence of renal artery stenosis
  • Has ESRD requiring HD
    • Participants with ESRD (Group 2):
  • Has a history or presence of renal artery stenosis.

Who the study is looking for

  • All Participants
  • Is a continuous non-smoker or moderate smoker (≤ 10 cigarettes per day or equivalent) for at least 3 months prior to the first dosing
  • Has a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 18.0 and ≤ 42.0 kg/m\^2 at the screening visit
    • Participants with severe renal impairment (RI) (Group 1):
  • Has severely impaired renal function as determined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation
    • Participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (Group 2):
  • Has ESRD maintained on stable outpatient regimen of intermittent high-flux hemodialysis (HD) (at least 3 times per week) for a minimum of 3 hours per dialysis session, using a complication free well-maintained arteriovenous fistula or arteriovenous graft, for at least 3 months prior to first dosing and is expected and planning to continue HD during the study and at least up to the follow-up visit
    • Healthy Control Participants (Group 3):
  • Has normal renal function
